I didnt like this one as much as the bird one in the same series. This one had less information on identifying trees and just more generally about them.

I thought this was a cute little book that both taught me more about different types of trees and how to broadly identify them, as well as giving ideas on how to engage more mindfully with nature.

I adored this!! I’m actually obsessed, I’ve looked up the whole series and am definitely planning to get them all. I think this book is a great resource right now, it’s got a lot of good basic info for new tree-huggers like me!

"To know a tree is to also know a place."

My little naturalist heart absolutely fell in live with this little book. The comforting prose, the stories that feel like home, the simple two-color line illustrations, and most of all, the trees. I'm taken back to my childhood climbing trees, and I'm reminded why adult me aspires to save them.

"Spending one-on-one time with a tree invites us to adopt a beginner's mind as we trace the curve of a branch, peer into the crevice of a knotty trunk, listen to the call of a bird perched high above, or marvel at the glimmer of sunlight dancing through leaves."

Thank you to Emily Han, Gregory Han, Chronicle Books, and NetGalley for this ARC.

This is a beautifully written book and a wonderful introduction to the science and magic of trees. It covers quite a few topics related to trees and their relationships with the plants, fungi, algae, animals, insects, environment, and humans around them, educating the reader and in turn providing accessible and inclusive exercises to acquaint themselves with the trees in their area on a more personal level, wherever they are in the world.

I'm a gardener, and I found myself gleefully looking up information on the MANY trees and plants referenced in the text. I learned so much, especially as a person working outside with these beauties every day.

There were a few opportunities wherein further definition and explanation of terminology would have been helpful for a layperson, but not to the extent that the reader would feel excluded from the material if they didn't know exactly what the term meant. It also would have been lovely to have gone a little deeper into some subjects! I was left with the desire to do further research.

Overall, this was a wonderfully informative and inspiring read, with a gentle call to action to form relationships nature, to be mindful and care deeply, and to support local trees however possible, with recommendations and examples provided by the authors.

Inclusive, applicable to life, and grounding, this is a lovely read for anyone interested in learning more about their surroundings and building a lasting relationship with trees.

The first thing I saw at my grandmas house was how her big old tree was growing so much it was cracking the cement in the yard.; I remember my uncle wanting to tear it down and my grandma not letting him. This gives more insight into why we need more trees

Another delightful Pocket Nature book! This book would make an awesome addition to any amateur naturalists library. It would also be a great foundation for a school unit study. Loved the simplicity and loveliness of this sweet little book. The only reason this book was a 4 star (rather than 5 star) rating was that I wish it had been a bit longer and included a few more of the wonderful illustrations.

Looking forward to adding a paper copy of this to my home library!

This book is beautifully written complimented with stunning, immersive illustrations that truly bring this book to life. The information is presented in an engaging and easily digestible manner. Throughout the book, the authors genuine passion and knowledge for nature shines through.

Beautifully written book about the magnificence of trees. Filled with pretty illustrations. Stories and information about the synchronicities between humans and trees, how we are intertwined. Tips on how to involve nature in our lives.

Great book that should help change the perspective on how we view trees. It also gives practical steps on implementing nature bathing and tree appreciation in everyday life.
